Maybe you should apologize to the person you clashed with through PM then try to move on and next time you get heated- get up, walk away, and then come back later when you are more calm.

I moderate on another board and there are people who just want to push your buttons, who are ALWAYS right, who just want to pick fights, and so on. You just have to not feed into them. I swear it get's them off.

You aren't evil, you are human, people fight, it happens, you apologize (if possible I have people I absolutely detest on my board but I just stay away from them), and move on

I've never noticed you post anything evil in any of the posts I have read from you. As a matter of fact, a lot of your posts were pretty darn helpful to me when I first started my calorie counting process.

It is hard to get your point across on a BB sometimes, and people often feel free to respond to things a lot more aggressively than they would in 'real' life. Makes some stronger personalities come across stronger, might have done that to the person that you clashed with, and allows others to act differently than they would in real life, hopefully that person who was so mean in the PM would never look another person in the face and act that way.

As beerab said, you aren't evil, people just argue sometimes. Doesn't give anyone else a right to just be mean. Don't let it get you down. You aren't an evil lowlife honey.

I agree with Kyr. Some people don't know how to deal with straight-shooters these days. Straight-forward people have become a rarity. Did this person come to you first with no prior contact or interaction? Just curious. I had a similar experience elsewhere.

I have read your posts since I came to this board last february. Never have I had the thought that you were a "lowlife" or evil. It's been only enjoyment when I read your posts. And I can honestly say I was aware of your absence and hope you come around more often.

I've been reading your posts for a long time, and I agree with the others, never seen you be mean. I too am a straight talker, and sometimes on the internet people don't get it, cause they can't see facial expressions, hear the tone or whatever. Maybe it's something like that?
